Clerc Hydroscaph H1 Watch
Here in the watches-dealer watch dungeon, we are currently putting the new for 2013 Clerc Hydroscaph H1 watch through our rigorous watch testing procedures. So a hands-on review of the H1 will come in due time, but until then we'd like to share the news about this new three-hand version of the Clerc Hydroscaph, which is the H1.There will likely be a few versions of the H1. This is the steel model with a really lovely metallic blue dial. I wouldn't have thought that a bright green trimmed minutes hand would have worked, but it does. The 44mm wide case is typical Hydroscaph with its unique design and patented rotating bezel locking system (that unfolds like a little winding key). The crown design appears to be new and is rather interesting.Inside the watch is a Clerc caliber C609 automatic movement that is a base ETA with special decoration and is partially viewable through two smaller sapphire crystal caseback windows. The movement is COSC Chronometer certified as well. Not necessary re

Need help sourcing a fold over clasp for an Omega curved end rubber strap
Hi Guys,I recently purchased a new 42mm Planet Ocean and would love to put on the Omega curved end rubber strap with white stitching. I called Fr. John's AD (who I purchased my PO from) and he has them in stock but recommended sourcing an aftermarket fold over clasp because his Omega ones cost $230. Has anyone found an after market fold over clasp that will work with this rubber strap? I'll spend the $230 if I have to but thought I might pose this question to you guys first to save a little money. Thanks!

Rolex Platinum/White Gold Finish Pen - Any Trades?
I received a platinum/white golf finished pen when I purchased a watch recently and was curious if anyone was interested in trading for it. Values on ebay are around $400. Im interested in useful things like travel cases, etc...doesnt have to be rolex. I have the pen listed for sale as well but thought I would see if there are any interesting trade options as well.message me if interested.

Two hour flight for my rolex
So my local AD has me on a ~3 month wait-list for my watch, while a more distance AD seems to suggest that I can get one within the month. Although I would have to hop on a plane for 2 hours (4 hours round trip) to pick up said watch. Tax savings and/or perceived (read assumed) discount will more then cover the cost of a ticket. Of course I am not hoping on a plane until the distance AD text me a picture of my watch. Is there any downside from getting a watch from AD that won't be readily accessible going forward? Would potentially make a day trip out of this when/if availability raises.
